Description: Detailed large map of Missouri State, USA showing cities, towns, county formations, roads highway, US highways and State routes.
This map of Missouri with cities, counties, and roads is already large enough to read directly on your desktop. To see a full-screen zoom view on a phone or tablet, tap the map image (or tap the Zoom Map label above the image). Scan by shading by county first, meaning the 114 counties are in various colored blocks with each county's seat in bold. Use the interstate system and the Missouri, Mississippi, and Osage rivers for quick orientation. Note that the light road layer is intentionally minimal and not designed for turn-by-turn directions using interstate (I-70, I-44, I-55). If you want a specific city or county, the full county and seat index and FAQ's lower on this page are the quickest route to click straight to it.
Map of Missouri (USA). Missouri map with cities, counties, and towns. Use this detailed map to understand Missouri's full county grid, every administrative capital (county seat), the major cities and towns, bordering states and waters, and a few highway cues for orientation only. It is the best map style for residents, travelers, and geography students who want clarity without road clutter. Missouri packs all 114 counties plus the independent City of St. Louis onto one map, so the color-coded county blocks and bold seat labels carry the real weight here, not a maze of route numbers. Each county sits in its own shaded block with the seat printed in bold right on top, and the thin road lines underneath exist only to help you keep your bearings, not to replace a real atlas. Whether you came looking for a straightforward map of Missouri with cities and towns, a closer look at Map of Missouri counties lines, or a side-by-side Missouri map with counties and cities, start with the color blocks and the rest falls into place.
Borders and waters at a glance: Missouri borders more states than all but one other, tied with Tennessee for most bordering states in the nation. Iowa forms the north edge; Illinois runs the length of the east side across the Mississippi; Kentucky and Tennessee touch the Bootheel's southeast corner; Arkansas forms most of the south edge; Oklahoma clips the far southwest corner; Kansas runs the length of the west side; and Nebraska touches the extreme northwest tip. All 114 counties plus the independent City of St. Louis are shown on the map, and the Missouri, Mississippi, and Osage rivers act as the main orientation lines running through the interior, with the Mississippi tracing the entire eastern border.
Road-light orientation: All 114 counties plus the independent City of St. Louis show up as color blocks here, with light corridor cues for I-70, I-44, I-55, I-35, I-29, and I-49 helping place the four big metro anchors the cartography marks clearly: Kansas City in Jackson County, St. Louis as its own independent city, Springfield in Greene County, and Columbia in Boone County. The capital, Jefferson City, sits in Cole County on the Missouri River, and it isn't the state's largest city, that title belongs to Kansas City, over in Jackson County.
Start in the corner where Missouri meets both Iowa and Nebraska. Atchison County lists Rock Port as its seat, the only county touching both northern neighbors. South of it, Holt County shows Oregon, also brushing the short Nebraska line before the border turns to follow the Missouri River. Nodaway County, seat Maryville, is home to Northwest Missouri State University, while Worth County, seat Grant City, is the smallest county in the state by land area. Gentry County lists Albany, and Harrison County lists Bethany along the ridge toward Iowa. Andrew County, seat Savannah, and DeKalb County, seat Maysville, sit between the river bluffs and the interior. Buchanan County anchors this corner: St. Joseph is both the county seat and the region's largest city, set on a bend of the Missouri River. Platte County, seat Platte City, and Clay County, seat Liberty, complete the run south into the Kansas City metro, with Kansas City International Airport sitting in Platte County's farmland.
East of the Platte Purchase, the Grand River drains a wide band of rolling farm country. Daviess County lists Gallatin; Caldwell County lists Kingston; Clinton County lists Plattsburg, all just north of the Kansas City ring. Livingston County, seat Chillicothe, and Grundy County, seat Trenton, sit just northeast on the same rail line. Mercer County lists Princeton and Putnam County lists Unionville, both close to the Iowa line. Sullivan County, seat Milan, and Linn County, seat Linneus, sit in the Locust Creek and Grand River bottoms. Chariton County, seat Keytesville, takes its name from the Chariton River, a Missouri River tributary. Carroll County, seat Carrollton, and Ray County, seat Richmond, round out the belt where the Grand River finally meets the Missouri River near Waverly.
Along the state's northeast shoulder, the map reads west to east from the Iowa line toward the river. Schuyler County lists Lancaster and Scotland County lists Memphis, both hugging the Iowa border. Knox County, seat Edina, and Adair County, seat Kirksville, sit just south, with Kirksville the largest city in this corner and home to Truman State University. Macon County, seat Macon, anchors the U.S. 63 corridor south of Kirksville. Shelby County, seat Shelbyville, and Marion County, seat Palmyra, lead toward the river, where the city of Hannibal, Mark Twain's boyhood home, sits inside Marion County on the Mississippi bluffs. Ralls County, seat New London, sits just south of Hannibal. Lewis County, seat Monticello, and Clark County, seat Kahoka, finish the run at the far northeast corner, where Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois nearly meet across the river.
South of the northeast counties, the map crosses into the river towns historically known as Little Dixie. Randolph County, seat Huntsville, and Howard County, seat Fayette, sit north of the river. Boone County, seat Columbia, is the region's largest by population and home to the University of Missouri. Callaway County, seat Fulton, sits directly across the Missouri River from the capital. Audrain County, seat Mexico, and Monroe County, seat Paris, lie on the prairie edge to the north. Pike County, seat Bowling Green, and Montgomery County, seat Montgomery City, track the river east toward St. Charles. Cooper County, seat Boonville, guards a historic river crossing, and Saline County, seat Marshall, sits across the river to the west, named for its salt springs.
Jackson County carries two county seats on the map, Kansas City and Independence, with Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, Raytown, and Grandview also labeled; Kansas City is by far the state's largest city. Cass County, seat Harrisonville, sits just south, and Bates County, seat Butler, continues the line toward the Kansas border. Henry County, seat Clinton, and Johnson County, seat Warrensburg, home to the University of Central Missouri and neighboring Whiteman Air Force Base, sit east of Cass. Lafayette County, seat Lexington, and Pettis County, seat Sedalia, round out the eastern edge of the metro's reach, with Sedalia known for the Missouri State Fair.
South of the metro ring, three lakes dominate the map's shading. Vernon County, seat Nevada, and Barton County, seat Lamar, sit against the Kansas line. Cedar County, seat Stockton, wraps Stockton Lake, and St. Clair County, seat Osceola, borders Truman Lake on the Osage River. Benton County, seat Warsaw, sits where Truman Lake meets the Lake of the Ozarks headwaters. Hickory County, seat Hermitage, and Dallas County, seat Buffalo, sit east of the lakes. Polk County, seat Bolivar, and Dade County, seat Greenfield, mark the southern edge of this belt, just north of the Springfield metro.
Greene County, seat Springfield, is the third-largest county on the map by population and the hub of the entire southwest quadrant. Christian County, seat Ozark, and Webster County, seat Marshfield, ring it to the south and east. West toward Kansas and Oklahoma, Jasper County, seat Carthage, holds the city of Joplin along its western edge, and Newton County, seat Neosho, sits just south. McDonald County, seat Pineville, occupies the far southwest corner where Missouri touches both Kansas and Oklahoma. Barry County, seat Cassville, and Lawrence County, seat Mount Vernon, sit between Joplin and the lakes.

Miller County, seat Tuscumbia, and Camden County, seat Camdenton, wrap the long, branching arms of the Lake of the Ozarks. Laclede County, seat Lebanon, and Pulaski County, seat Waynesville, home to Fort Leonard Wood, sit along the I-44 corridor to the south. Phelps County, seat Rolla, hosts Missouri University of Science and Technology. Maries County, seat Vienna, and Osage County, seat Linn, sit in the Gasconade and Osage river hills north of Rolla. Wright County, seat Hartville, and Texas County, seat Houston, the largest county on the map by land area, sit on the high Ozark plateau to the southeast, with Dent County, seat Salem, marking the edge of the Current River headwaters.
This belt is defined by clear, spring-fed rivers. Shannon County, seat Eminence, wears the Current River crown, with the Jacks Fork joining nearby. Carter County, seat Van Buren, sits downstream on the Current. Oregon County, seat Alton, anchors the Eleven Point River, and Ripley County, seat Doniphan, sits on the Current closer to the Arkansas line. Howell County, seat West Plains, is the largest town in this stretch, near the North Fork River. Douglas County, seat Ava, and Ozark County, seat Gainesville, sit on the high ridge toward Arkansas, and Reynolds County, seat Centerville, marks the forested interior north of Carter.
Leaving the central plateau, the map shows Missouri's oldest hills. Crawford County, seat Steelville, and Washington County, seat Potosi, sit on the Meramec River's upper reaches. Iron County, seat Ironton, holds Taum Sauk Mountain, Missouri's highest point, in the St. Francois Mountains. Madison County, seat Fredericktown, and St. Francois County, seat Farmington, sit just east. The Mississippi River bluffs appear at Ste. Genevieve County, seat Ste. Genevieve, one of the oldest European settlements west of the river, and Perry County, seat Perryville. Cape Girardeau County lists Jackson as its seat, while the city of Cape Girardeau spreads along the river below it. Bollinger County, seat Marble Hill, and Wayne County, seat Greenville, sit inland, and Butler County, seat Poplar Bluff, on the Black River, is the largest city in this stretch.
Missouri's southeast corner drops out of the Ozark foothills into flat delta land. Stoddard County, seat Bloomfield, and Scott County, seat Benton, mark the transition, with the city of Sikeston labeled across their shared line. Mississippi County, seat Charleston, sits on the river directly across from Kentucky's far western tip. New Madrid County, seat New Madrid, sits on a historic river bend and gives its name to the 1811-12 earthquakes. Pemiscot County, seat Caruthersville, and Dunklin County, seat Kennett, finish the map at the far southeast corner, where Missouri touches both Arkansas and Tennessee.
St. Louis appears on the map as an independent city, not part of any county, on the west bank of the Mississippi across from Illinois. St. Louis County, seat Clayton, wraps around it and is the most populous county in the state, with suburbs Florissant, University City, Kirkwood, and Chesterfield labeled. St. Charles County, seat St. Charles, sits across the Missouri River, with O'Fallon, St. Peters, and Wentzville as its major cities. South of the city, Jefferson County, seat Hillsboro, holds Arnold and Festus along the river. West of the metro, Franklin County, seat Union, includes Washington on the Missouri River. Lincoln County, seat Troy, and Warren County, seat Warrenton, sit along the northern approach, and Gasconade County, seat Hermann, marks the wine-country bend of the river just west of Washington.
Because every county block is colored and every county seat is printed in a consistent symbol, the eye can answer everyday questions quickly. Which county is Kansas City in? Jackson. Where does St. Louis sit? Its own independent city on the Mississippi. Which seat serves the Lake of the Ozarks country? Camdenton in Camden. What county sits in the far northwest corner? Atchison, seat Rock Port. Where is Branson relative to Springfield? South across Christian from Greene along the light US-65 cue. That is the power of this detailed map for both residents and visitors: counties first, with just enough network to anchor direction.
Three rivers do most of the orientation work on this page. The Missouri River cuts the state in two, arcing from Kansas City through Boonville, Jefferson City, and Hermann to St. Charles, where it joins the Mississippi. The Mississippi River traces the entire eastern border past Hannibal, St. Louis, Cape Girardeau, and the Bootheel. The Osage River drains the west-central lakes country through Truman Lake and the Lake of the Ozarks before meeting the Missouri near Jefferson City. Keep these three in mind and any county on the map is easy to place.
The road layer is intentionally minimal. I-70 runs Kansas City-Columbia-St. Louis, the state's main east-west spine. I-44 runs St. Louis-Rolla-Springfield-Joplin on a southwest diagonal. I-55 runs St. Louis south to Cape Girardeau and the Bootheel, tracking the Mississippi. I-35 runs Kansas City north to the Iowa line, and I-29 runs Kansas City north through St. Joseph to the Iowa line along the Missouri River. I-49 runs Kansas City south through Harrisonville and Nevada to Joplin and the Arkansas line. I-64 covers a short stretch inside the St. Louis metro, and I-57 clips the Bootheel near Charleston. None of these are meant for turn-by-turn navigation, only as county-placement cues.

Missouri borders eight states, tied with Tennessee for the most of any state in the country. Iowa forms the north edge, Illinois runs the length of the east side across the Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee touch the Bootheel's southeast corner, Arkansas forms most of the south edge, Oklahoma clips the far southwest corner, Kansas runs the length of the west side, and Nebraska touches the extreme northwest tip. The state holds 114 counties plus the independent City of St. Louis, which has stood apart from St. Louis County since residents voted to secede in 1876. Texas County is the largest by land area at about 1,179 square miles, while Worth County is the smallest true county at about 266 square miles, and also the least populous with roughly 1,914 residents. St. Louis County, wrapping the independent city, is the most populous at roughly 990,911 residents. Cape Girardeau, New Madrid, St. Charles, St. Louis, and Ste. Genevieve counties share the title of oldest county, all five organized in 1812 as Missouri's original counties under the Missouri Territory. Missouri covers about 69,707 square miles in total. The capital, Jefferson City, sits in Cole County on a bluff above the Missouri River, and the state's major metros run from Kansas City and St. Louis through Springfield to Columbia. Landscape-wise, the state moves from rolling northern plains and prairie above the Missouri River, down through the rugged Ozark Plateau across the south, to the flat, low-lying Bootheel in the far southeast corner.
Missouri's ten largest cities by current population are Kansas City (about 510,704, Jackson County), St. Louis (about 281,754, an independent city), Springfield (about 170,188, Greene County), Columbia (about 129,330, Boone County), Independence (about 120,922, Jackson County), Lee's Summit (about 104,184, Jackson County), O'Fallon (about 94,074, St. Charles County), St. Charles (about 71,800, St. Charles County), St. Joseph (about 70,634, Buchanan County), and Blue Springs (about 60,539, Jackson County). Kansas City anchors a metro economy built on freight and logistics, animal health and agtech research, and a growing aerospace and engine-parts manufacturing base. St. Louis carries the state's biggest concentration of corporate headquarters, plant science and biotech research clustered around the Danforth Plant Science Center, and a defense and aerospace manufacturing base led by Boeing's fighter jet plants in St. Louis County. Springfield serves as the commercial hub for the entire southwest Ozarks and is home to Bass Pro Shops' headquarters and flagship store. Columbia centers on the University of Missouri and an insurance industry cluster. Away from the big metros, agriculture still defines much of the state: soybeans and corn dominate the northern plains and river bottoms, cattle graze the Ozark hill country, and Missouri consistently ranks among the top wine-grape producing states. With no coastline, Missouri's river commerce moves through inland ports on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, led by the Port of St. Louis and the Port of Kansas City.
Missouri's cultural identity splits neatly along its two big rivers. In St. Louis, the Gateway Arch commemorates the city's role as the historic starting point for westward expansion along the Santa Fe, Oregon, and California trails, and the city's brewing and baseball traditions run just as deep. Kansas City claims its own strong musical legacy: Kansas City jazz flourished in the 18th and Vine district during the 1920s and 1930s, producing Charlie Parker and Count Basie, and the city's barbecue tradition draws as much attention today as its music. In the Ozarks, Branson and the surrounding hill country carry a strong tradition of country and gospel music, folk crafts, and homesteading heritage tied to Taney and Stone counties. Hannibal, in Marion County, preserves the Mississippi riverfront boyhood home of Mark Twain, and the Bootheel counties carry a distinct Mississippi Delta culture shaped by cotton farming. Higher education is spread widely across the state's counties, with the University of Missouri in Columbia (Boone County), Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla (Phelps County), Truman State University in Kirksville (Adair County), the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg (Johnson County), and Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau.
On this map, Taum Sauk Mountain (St. Francois Mountains, Iron County) and the Missouri, Mississippi, and Osage rivers double as landmarks for finding counties quickly. For elevation, terrain, watersheds, and land-cover detail, see our Physical Map of Missouri.
Missouri has a humid continental climate with cold winters and hot, humid summers across most of the state, shifting to a humid subtropical climate in the Bootheel's far southeast corner. For a full seasonal and biome breakdown, see our Physical Map of Missouri.
North-south travel runs mainly on I-35 and I-29 (Kansas City north to the Iowa line) and I-49 (Kansas City south to Joplin and the Arkansas line), plus I-55 in the east (St. Louis south to the Bootheel). East-west travel runs on I-70 (Kansas City to Columbia to St. Louis) and I-44 (St. Louis to Rolla to Springfield to Joplin), with short stretches of I-64 inside the St. Louis metro and I-57 clipping the Bootheel near Charleston. Keep in mind that ZIP codes do not follow county lines in Missouri, so a single ZIP code can span two counties, and the Kansas City metro's ZIP codes cross the Jackson-Clay-Platte-Cass county lines freely. Always confirm the county name directly from the map or index rather than assuming it from a ZIP prefix.
Use this as a quick index. Every line lists the county with its county seat (and a familiar city when the map labels one). Short cues mention river, border, or gentle corridor context only.
